DHS is holding a 2-month-old BABY at a detention facility in Texas.

Last night, Juan NicolΓ‘s was rushed to the hospital after choking on his own vomit & being unable to breathe.

This demands accountability β€” not a blank check for more cruelty.

I saw a dermatologist in Madison like 6 years ago and they were so rude about everything and was acting like I was just taking up their time.. and that discouraged me for a while from getting it taken care of. Folks at Magnolia Dermatology were nothing but awesome and I’m glad I ended up going there

Had a cyst on my head for 20+ years. It was tiny and harmless at first, so I left it alone, but over the last few years it grew to almost golf ball size and I finally had it removed.

My head’s sore and I have to wear a pretty ugly bandage for two days, but I’m relieved it’s gone.
